I'm lucky with the technology available I was able to find out so early... but I wanted to look at what I should be having based on OWTs.
Below is completely stolen from a friend (with permission), but I think it is a good way of looking at each myth, and the answers are obviously mine.
So, if it's in Pink it means according to that particular myth, I should be having a girl. And if it's Blue, it means according to that particular myth, I should be having a boy. Orange means I didn't try it or it doesn't apply. At the end I'll add them all up!
Heart Rate: If the baby’s heart rate is above 140 bpm, it is said that the baby will be a girl. If it is under 140 bpm, then it will be a boy.
Shape of Belly:
If you are carrying high with a big, round belly, you are having a girl. If you are carrying low with a smaller belly that sticks straight out, it's a boy.
-I don't really have a belly yet.
Shape of Mom’s Face: When your face gets fuller and rounder when pregnant, it means you’re going to have a girl. If your face is long and narrow, it’s a boy.
Mayan Tale:
The Mayan tale adds the mothers age at conception and the year of conception. If the result is an even number then mom is having a girl. If the result is an odd number than a boy is on the way! (29 + 2013= 2042)
Drano Test:
The drano test combines a tablespoon of Drano and urine together. If the mixture turns green, it’s a girl. If it turns blue, it’s a boy. -From what I read, not only is this bogus, it is also dangerous.
Acne:
If you have acne while pregnant, it’s a girl. It’s thought that acne during pregnancy is caused by the extra hormones.
Cravings:
People believe that if you are craving salty foods while pregnant, you can count on having a boy. If you crave sweets, fruit, and orange juice, you are having a little girl.
Smell of Garlic:
If a pregnant woman eats a clove of garlic and the smell does not come out of her pores, it’s a girl. If the smell seeps out of her pores, it’s a boy. -I am not eating a clove of garlic... are you people crazy?!
History of Parent’s Kids: You can find out the sex by going off of your parent’s kids and the order. If you are the first born, you will have what your mother had but starting with her second child. If you are the middle child, you will have what she said, but starting with the third child. If you are the last child, you will have what your mother had in the exact order.
Legs:
If your legs get really big, you’re having a boy. If your legs stay in shape and lean, it’s a girl.
Moodiness and a Little Pecker: If you are really moody, you are having a girl since you have another extra girl hormones in you. Your pregnancy will make you smile and be more happy if you are having a boy because there’s a little penis inside you. (Really?!)
Bread:
If you eat the ends of bread, it's a boy. If you eat the middle of the loaf, it's a girl.
Chinese Gender Chart:
http://content.thebump.com/sitelets/chinese-gender-chart/
The Chinese Gender Chart claims to have an accuracy rate of over 90%. It is based on how old the mother is at conception and the month that she conceived. (29 and November)
Mom’s Beauty:
Basically you are having a girl if your beauty disappears during pregnancy. It is said that the girl “steals” the mother’s beauty. If you think that pregnancy has never made you look more beautiful, you might just be having a little boy.
Dream of Sex of Baby: If you have dreams that you are having a boy, you will have a girl. If you dream about having a girl, it will be a boy. Dreams show the opposite of what you are having.
Clumsy vs. Graceful: If the pregnant woman is graceful throughout her pregnancy, she’s having a girl. If she becomes clumsy, she’s having a boy.
Side You Most Rest On: If a pregnant woman prefers to lay on her left side, she’s having a boy. If she prefers resting on her right side, she’s having a girl.
Dad's Weight Gain: If the dad-to-be gains weight while you are pregnant, it's a girl. If he doesn't gain weight, you're having a boy.
Breast Test:
If a pregnant woman’s left breast is larger than the right breast, she’s having a girl. If the right breast is larger, it’s a boy.
-I think they are the same?
What Do You Think?:
71% of the time, the mom-to-be knows what she is having.
Morning Sickness:
If you had a smooth pregnancy with no morning sickness, it’s a boy. If you were sick or felt really nauseous during your pregnancy, count on a girl.
Protein:
When a pregnant woman craves meat and cheese, count on a boy.
Feet:
Are your feet colder now that you are pregnant? If so, you just might be having a boy. If your feet have stayed the same before pregnancy and during, you’re having a little girl.
Hair on Legs:
If the hair on your legs has been growing at record speeds, you might be having a boy.
Hands are Dry:
If your hands are constantly dry, it’s a boy.
Nose:
Do you feel like your nose is growing and getting wider? If so, you might be having a boy.
Headaches:
If you are having headaches, you might be carrying a boy.
Baby Names:
It is said that when you can only think of specific names for a boy or a girl, you will have that particular baby.
So, what's the verdict?
According to all of the OWTs and Myths, overall, I got more answers for: BOY.
Are they right?
You'll find out soon! (If you already know, don't spoil the surprise!)
